No they didn't. They basically told me go to the labour board and we'll smear your name so badly to everyone in the business (which is an extremely small community where everyone pretty much knows everyone) and make sure you never get another job again type of thing. Didn't help that my wife's sister was the boss' wife either...essentially get four weeks of pay, or cause a serious family fight. Overall a very tricky situation to deal with.
In the end I forewent about $6,500 gross pay in severance to avoid the drama that would have ensued. But it's not like I was out of work as I just started my next job 3 weeks earlier type of thing so my overall loss wasn't that bad.
